Germany's inflation rate rose to 2.9% in August, marking a third consecutive monthly increase as higher energy costs put fresh pressure on Europe's largest economy. Although the figure came below market expectations of 3.1%, inflation remains above the European Central Bank's 2% target, while weak domestic demand, falling investment and declining employment highlight the fragility of Germany's economic recovery. The latest figures add to the ECB's policy dilemma as inflation pressures diverge across the eurozone. Meanwhile, economic frustration is increasingly spilling into German politics, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz warning that an AfD victory in Saxony-Anhalt could undermine investor confidence and economic stability. #Germany #GermanyEconomy #GermanInflation #Inflation #Eurozone #ECB #EuropeanEconomy #EnergyCrisis #IranWar #FriedrichMerz #AfD #SaxonyAnhalt #Europe #EconomicCrisis #TimesNowWorld Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: 🌐 Re
